We would just play it by ear.  I am sure I can introduce you to someone.

I don't know any better song on this occasion, though it's old and worn out.. It was always the song we'd played on midnight since I was 15...
The song dates from the time before Bono became the self-proclaimed messias...

Fair warning, AutoPuzzlers!

82 Topics Rookie puzzles remain unsolved. 71 Experts puzzles, and 161 Pro puzzles, too. I will inflict upon this forum a rain of Leonard Nimoy's golden-throated warbling until these number are brought down to a more manageable level. The example below is, believe it or not, is held up as one of Der Spockster's "better" recordings. It only gets worse, from here. Get crackin' on the growing backlog of unsolved puzzles, or there will be more Leonard Nimoy singing posts. You wouldn't want that, now would you?

I have a suggestion that might help cut them down.

At a certain point, merge remaining threads from the same author into larger threads once they are past their prime. Essentially consolidate the backlog into a 'group' thread, that can still be solved one by one at their own pace. That way it's possible to maintain the amount of puzzles but with a lower thread count...

Where's the sadistic fun in that? :D

OK - we'll take your suggestion under consideration.

Some of my puzzles are very hard, I must admit, but some of them are half-solved and others can be found just asking the right questions...
I'll give more clues, anything to avoid that torture!

Well, it seems Djetset is intent on making you all suffer, by adding so many new unsolved puzzles in one fell swoop. Well, then, so be it. Here, we can enjoy Nimoy riffing on Jackie DeShannon.

Wait a minute...I like the new ones...we must get rid of the old ones!
...let's spread more clues...
But don't stop these new puzzles, please!
(a solution can be to post a part of them in the Expert and in the pool shark, ehm, in the Pro section?).
BTW: how many tortures have you got in your stock?

A virtually inexhaustible stock.  :)

And, to be clear, I don't want to discourage new puzzles in any way.
